Gated soon
The Freeman kinder goes for us-' IN its last
weeks ISSUE and in the course Of its remarks gives
Us quite d history Of the Whisksy dght, that We
had not heard for which IL has our thanks. We
did not claim 10 have an extended knowledge OF
affairs at Logan, and only proposed 90 criticize the
ortlon Of Mr.. Boyd's article which reads thus
I'VE did not intend that suckers aud vampires
should be employed 10 tempt men 20 violation by
sending boyz foE liquor and beer, nor did il intend
10 reduce man % poverty and his family to sctusl
want 70 satisfy revenge NoW then, We say that
tlis language viii be construed by a minority OF
the cause Of whiskey men. We do not know sir.
Boyd'z sentiments on that question, but suppose
that he would like any other good citizen, say,
long az have q temperance law on our statue
books let all vioiatOrs su1er the penalty. He says,
iii druggists violate the law let them be punished
as the law provides If we understand rightly
the penalty can not be less than SlJJ line and 81
days imprisonment EoE each offence proven. II
We are wrong, We would be glad TO be set right
We are glad 70 that we agree as to the non
Justification OF the druggist, who is betrayed by
SPY; but when lie speaks Of cur "zluEring the
Representative % he is taking more upon himself
than We said We dlsliked 20 sc our
representative thus INDIRECTLY favor whiskey
men. In saying this, We were only expressing the
feelings OF temperance men and women, II regard
our Law; that it is the duty Of al good citizens
to stand upfor any law on our books until they
are repealed; and especially is this the duty OF
those who are in office. We viii say this much
Tor ourselves, that no one has heard us say any
thing about our representative except that re
garded him as good neighUor, and counted him
as our friend. Hence no slur was intended. For
Mr. Boyd, we say this, that we, individually,
think tlat he did good work, and, as far as our
memory serves us, voted right.
r. r. meeting at Highland school house Satur
day evening, the 10Th. Here cur some figures 70
study. Read them, 90 and examine, then vote as
you please. Amount Of taxable property in Mound
township last year about $4,000; amount paved in
taxes for all purposes about $3.50, that is school
tax and ali. From Auditors report We CLEAN that
the average rate per mile, including rolling stock,
side tracks, etc, is STlT965 Now, taking the
average. Mound would have taxable r R. proper
Jy to amount of $4,000, which added to our last
assessment OF $4,000 gives as a total Of Sl14O50
taxable property. Now take oar quota Of taxes
for last year, which is 1850, and to this add r. R.
bond ias SEQ, and we would have TO raise $3.50
by taxation on the Sl14sOO0 property VIII the
rate OF taxton be higher or lower? We answer
lover, but count for yourselves, only remember
that our valuation must increase. PED.
